Variable Range Simulator (VRS)

Download Brochure

The VRS (Variable Range Simulator) is a distance simulator for testing the accuracy and functionality of Range Finders (LRF).

The VRS is used for functional testing of LRFs operating in a broad range of wavelengths from 905nm to 1570nm, with the option of configuring up to three discrete wavelengths to be incorporated into the VRS.
